-
Chico
Bernardes
is
a
singer,
songwriter
and
multi
instrumentalist
from
São
Paulo,
Brazil.
In
his
first
and
self-titled
record,
‘Chico
Bernardes’
has
arranged
and
recorded
all
the
instruments,
with
the
support
of
Gui
Jesus
Toledo
from
SELO
RISCO
and
owner
of
Estúdio
Canoa,
where
the
recordings
took
place.
Surrounded
by
lots
of
coffee
and
low
lights,
Chico
recorded
part
of
the
songs
as
if
he
was
singing
for
nobody,
in
real
time.
The
other
half
of
the
record
was
filled
with
drums,
bass,
electric
guitar,
percussions
and
a
bunch
of
keys,
from
old
casio
keyboards
to
an
indian
harmonium.
The
songs
structured
above
nylon
strings
guitar
were
recorded
with
a
1968
Di
Giorgio
Romeo
3,
frequently
used
on
the
classical
brazilian
records
from
the
70’s
and
beyond,
that
carries
a
very
popular
Bossa
Nova
tone,
but
Chico
reworked
it’s
approach
with
the
use
of
alternate
tunings,
on
a
closer
proximity
to
artists
such
as
Duncan
Browne,
Sibylle
Baier
and
Joni
Mitchell.
For
the
steel
strings,
he
used
a
60’s
Martin
000,
in
order
to
reach
the
old
and
warm
wooden
sound
of
the
record.
The
Lyrics
mostly
talk
about
his
wandering
dreams
about
different
affections
with
people,
the
transitional
moments
of
a
lifetime
and
self
discoveries,
from
his
essential
core
to
the
external
world.
Mapache
and
Selo
Risco
are
proud
to
present
the
first
album
by
Chico
Bernardes
finally
on
vinyl.
